Freshman Scottlyn  Fransico said, “We did an amazing job and listened well, I feel like we worked great as a team and it brought us home a win.” 

Coach Robin Hanline said, “ Overall I felt the team played pretty good. I was impressed by the number of hits we got as a team. We have been working hard on base running, and I thought we showed improvement in that. Defensively, the girls did a better job at covering bases and being where they’re suppose to be each play. Overall, the girls are improving daily and that is what I ask from them. Looking forward to watching them grow as players.”
